The Sandy Hook Elementary shooting happened on December 14, 2012, in Newton, Connecticut, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members. Prior to driving to the school, Lanza shot and killed his mother and after the school shooting he committed suicide by shooting himself. The incident was the deadliest mass shooting at a grade school and the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in U.S. history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings.

This experimental typeface was inspired from these horrible events to create awareness on the issue of gun control in the United States. It also serves as a memorial to the school victims as the number of victims matches the number of letters in the English alphabet; 26. The letters were put together with broken crayons and pencils, as well as bullets. In addition, the red and orange crayons were melted to mimic blood. The project includes two posters, invitation to an exhibition, and sample cards.
